My face shape is not very good-looking. In the past, my family conditions were not very good, so I didn't go to the hospital for surgery. Now I went to the hospital for frontal muscle flap suspension. The operation was very successful, but not long after the operation, my eyes didn't detumescence and became more and more serious. Now let's talk about the complications of frontalis muscle flap suspension.

Second: insufficient correction: insufficient shortening of levator palpebrae superioris or loose suture ligation. Corrective surgery can be performed 3-6 months after operation. ② Overcorrection: it is caused by excessive resection of levator palpebrae superioris muscle. It is not necessary to deal with mild cases, and it can be relieved gradually after 2 weeks. In severe cases, the fixed suture should be removed as soon as possible, the upper eyelid should be massaged downward, or the operation should be performed again.

If the eyes are red, swollen and painful, it's inflammation and the wound doesn't grow well. If it's not red, it's just swelling and itching, that is, the drainage is not smooth after the operation. Warm water can be used to promote blood circulation, and the swelling will naturally subside.
